Montana State University-Northern Admissions: Graduate Student Admission

Graduate Student Admission

Students who wish to pursue graduate work at Montana State University-Northern should contact the Graduate Office, Montana State University-Northern, Havre, MT 59501 for application materials. All application materials should be returned to the Graduate Office one month prior to the proposed date of registration to allow adequate time for complete processing.

To be considered for admission to graduate study, an applicant must have been granted a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university. An undergraduate student who is within 16 credits of completion of the baccalaureate degree, and who has at least a 3.00 grade point average over the last 60 credits, may petition the Graduate Council for approval to take up to nine credits of graduate coursework which may apply toward a graduate degree. These credits may not be applied to the student's undergraduate program. Graduate credit earned in this manner will not become a part of the student's permanent record until all requirements for the baccalaureate degree have been met.

Admission to graduate studies does not constitute matriculation for degree candidacy. Students who wish to matriculate for advanced degrees must make proper application for the specific degree sought (see Graduate Studies Overview in the current catalog). Information regarding candidacy is available from the Graduate Studies Office.
